1. Who is the first performer you saw live in concert?

The Beach Boys after a Denver Bears baseball game. This was probably 1980 or so.

2. Who is the most recent performer you saw live in concert?

I think, embarrassingly enough, that was Boston last summer. Beast is a major fan. I've been to several Boston concerts, and Styx concerts, another favorite. Sigh.

3. Have you seen more musicians or comedians in concert?

I haven't been in a comedy club in at least 15 years, and prior to that probably only a handful of times. So, music wins!

4. Who is your favorite living performer — musical or comedy — you’d love to see live but haven’t yet?

I would love to see Melissa Etheridge in concert. I'd also love to go to a Gogol Bordello concert, but I'm a little afraid of the crowd I might find myself in.

5. Who is your favorite deceased performer — musical or comedy — that you most wish you’d been able to see live in concert?

Elvis. Bing Crosby. The Beatles. Mozart. Those would top the list.

6. Do you think most concerts are too loud or just right?

The older I get the "too louder" they get. Fortunately, I'm willing to sit in the highest tier at an outside show--farthest away from speakers--these days.
